SMILE WITH THE STARS

ALL THE LATEST FROM THE WORLD OF ENTERTAINMENT

IT’S time to put a smile on your face as celebrities from Stephen Merchant, right, and Russell Brand, to Greg Wallace and David Hasselhoff join the #LookingForward campaign with The Princes Trust.

They are offering their personal messages and asking for people to share what they are most looking forward to after lockdown. Those posting under the hashtag are being encouraged to tag five family and friends, to get them looking forward too.

Organisers YouTuber Caspar Lee and bestselling author and psychotherapist Owen O’Kane are hoping that by flooding the platform with positive messages about the future, the campaign can help lessen the impact coronavirus is having on the nation’s mental health.
